I just wanted to get to know some of y'alls favorite song lyrics because I listen to songs for both lyrics and musicianship. Mainly lyrics because a band can be the most talented band but if they have horrible lyrics that does not mean anything what so ever then the band to me is not a good band. I love bands that want to give to their fans more than taking fame for themselves and considering themselves better than everyone. with that tangent out of the way here is one of the songs that I love so much that really has impacted my life and continues to challenge me to be a better person and a better Christian.
Song: Breathing Blood
Artist: Oh, Sleeper
Regaining consciousness under a swinging moon, he speaks of alliances that beckoned me long before the womb.
I've caused more wounds than I'm worth. I see now, you must not have heard...
I am the natural born killer.
There is freedom past your history.
"This air won't fill my lungs!"
Because you should be breathing blood.
See, this death, it was your victory so...
"Teach me to fill my lungs!" ...never stop breathing blood.
I had it all so very wrong, but I fought... I fought with only song.
God, I've tried... I'm trying like a beast all alone, but my words... my words have aired in poison.
Please teach me how to breathe because this air keeps failing my need.
Fill my lungs with what won't bleed from my enemies.
He said, "If death is victory how afraid of life can you be?"
I'm born a war machine not knowing which beckon to heed.
Will I rise as a tool for glory or be lost in dormancies?
I've regained consciousness under this swinging moon.
You filled my lungs and each breath heals this killer's wounds.
There is freedom past your history.
"But this air won't fill my lungs!"
Because you should be breathing blood.
See, this death, it was your victory so...
"Teach me to fill my lungs!" ...never stop breathing blood.
I hear him speaking to me. For the first time he cleared my head... that's when he said,
"Only cowards keep dormant their sleeping strength, and soon you'll find, only the fearless will reach their potential's peak."
(What will wing these words if even the air is poisoned?
If the air is poisoned, what will wing these words?)
"Tell me, if death is victory how afraid of life can we be?
If death is victory how afraid of life can we be?
This song reminds me that I am not perfect and I need to rely on my God and that He is there for me to heal me, through the blood of Jesus, no matter how badly I screw up and no matter how many times I screw up.
Disclaimer: This thread is not intended to turn into a discussion about religion and religious beliefs the fact that I stated as me being a Christian was suppose to give you a better picture of who I am as a person. feel free to post all lyrics here I will not judge because I do not have that power to judge. thank you and I look forward to seeing some amazing lyrics.
